So, on the campaign trail sometimes things get rough.
We just have to let it roll off our backs.
*sings* We shall not, we shall not be moved.
anyway.
I am still not unpacked, and I am sorta getting there. But sorta not. I finally got my furniture into the preferred arrangement and my cat is enjoying her time dozing on my totally cool deck.
Albany has been sunny lately.
I truly can't complain.

Saturday, July 11, 2009
This morning (as in 4:57 am) I thought I was about to be robbed. I woke up to a sound coming from my slightly open window. I hopped up, ready to slam that window and possibly call 911 when I saw a feral cats paw in my sill! He meowed at me, sending my cat into a mental frenzy. When I turned to look at her every hair on her body was standing up and her tail had "raccoon'ed" as I call it. It made me laugh, but also frazzled me for the next 40 minutes! I put a bit of food in the sill and closed the window. It's not cold at night anymore, so he was okay in that regard, but he gobbled the food down.
Random. But that was my early morning...

.small.spaces.
Next month, I am moving into a very small apartment. It's centrally located and the price is so right, but it's wanting for floor space.
One thing that excites me is the height of the ceiling; it's probably 15-20 feet high. I am so excited for shelving that goes up and up! The kitchen is small and offset from the living space, which makes me very happy. I plan on installing a 24" fan into the kitchen to increase ventilation and style.
I want to do a graphic look; I am thinking a navy or white slipcover for the sofa with a bright red or orange rug beneath it.
The floors are hardwood (which I love!) and the closet is deep and tall.
Another plus, and part of the reason I chose the place, is that there is a patio that (potentially) creates an outdoor dining room and reading nook.
The floorplan is peculiar enough for me to be interested in its potential.
One thing is for certain, there will be loads of updates once I move in to this fun and challenging space.
Post Script: I will find out the exact square footage on Monday, but it has enough for for a bed and loveseat. The jury is still out on the rest, but I know I will need a flat panel TV for a space like this one. Not necessarily a wall mount, but that wouldn't hurt. There will definitely be DVD and book stacks for awhile until I install the shelves.
I cannot even think about where my big brass horn will go. I'll try not to think about it!
I plan on working hard on this place, so I will post very regularly starting next month with pictures and musings. It will be a bit of work (as most beginner apartments are), but I'm excited about a new space to conquer!
Until next time.
Adios.

Anxiety.
Right now, I am in the middle of doing 1,000 things.
I am working on the campaign trail.
Life is rough these days.
On top of those things, I am apartment hunting because I would like to move out of my stuffy basement apartment and move closer to my university.
Tough. Tough. Tough.
My time seems to be completely taken these days. More than I'd like. To top it off, it just started raining and I am sitting in a cafe with no sweater or umbrella. Tres, tres amusant!
Ugh. I have done enough venting. Time to show off a few more of my goodies. :)
I've gotten a ton of stuff since my last post, so my next apartment is going to be pretty decked out!
These are some of my better finds since the last post. :)
Details later, now I've gotta run back to my apartment before campaigning tonight!

apartment goodies!
Again, more etsy buys!
I am finally getting my apartment in order, and these babies are going to be quite helpful in doing that!
Oh, did I mention owls rock!?!
I will truly blog this when they are in my home!
My sister said that I had to have the dove, regardless of it's continuity with the owls. I agreed. :)
Stores of note: LizaBam83, ekra, UglyBettyVintage, HotDoggerStuff

jewelry finds.
So, I've picked up a recent obsession with the greatness that is etsy.com.
I discovered it while on flickr a while back, and now I cannot get enough of it! I bought some really great jewelry, from a sweet store that makes jewelry out of random things.
Check these out, arriving at my house soon!
The hand isn't mine...for my hand is brown-skinned. :D
